Cultural knowledge is defined as a lingua franca that functions as a shared symbolic framework. This allows interaction among the various groups within a society on a common code related to a particular mode of thought. In the context of cognitive anthropology and the ethnosemantic interview, this article presents the cognitive map of the numinic that until now, and due to the saturation of the sample, generated a research on the cultural capital at undergraduate students in Aguascalientes, Mexico. The shared religious knowledge is also explained as well as how religion, religiosity and other contiguous modes of thought are organized in a population that presents certain religious diversity including a respectable percentage of skeptics.
